The following images show my fully completed front cover, contents page, and double page spread, of my music magazine.

Diary Entry

Second Photoshoot

Front Cover.

The first and fifth images were  used as these were the two main images that represented my genre of my magazine (easy-listening), to the best of its ability.

Contents Page.


        

These particular images weren't used because they were either to dark when taken, or wrongly positioned.

I decided to use these particular photographs as these were the most interesting and eye-catching out of all the photographs that I eventually managed to take.  

Double Page Spread.

 The following images weren't used as either the light was reflected in the glasses that he wore, or that they were taken at the wrong angle, in order to get a decent enough image, even when manipulated.  

The reason that I chose to use this particular image, was because after getting rid of the shine off his face, it looked like an appropriate image for my double page article, as well as inviting.

First Photoshoot

Front Cover.


Neither of these pictures that I took first time round looked as if they weren't decent enough to be a front cover image (too dark). Also, when stretched they became blared, and also left not enough room at the top for a decent sized magazine title. For this reason they weren't used.

Contents Page.

Majority of these photograph were scanned in, and the ones that I did take were to blared when I decided to stretch them, in order to fill the full width of the picture box given to it, (not used). 

This particular image wasn't used as it corresponds with the photograph that I used for my contents page, and because even when its cropped just above the guitar, and then made to stretch over half of the double page spread, the image becomes pixel-elated and blared.

Final Images for School Magazine

After taking the images, I decided to manipulate my images so that the main part of the photographs could be seen and not out side of them. I also uploaded the manipulated photos onto my blog as well.

Photographs for School Magazine

I was given a task which involved taking various pictures of the school in preparation for my school magazine. From there, I was told to upload the images to my blog.
